Ananya Panday's perspective

Excited to be working on this film with Nikhil Dwivedi and Vikramaditya Motwane, according to Ananya Panday, CTRL is engaging, impactful, and definitely makes one wonder if they are truly in control of their lives. With technology advancing at an exponential rate and people's reliance on it increasing, the actor thinks this film is relevant to everyone. With a story as riveting as CTRL, Netflix is the ideal venue to reach the audience.

Screen life, with its distinctive storytelling approach, has redefined screen time, according to Vikramaditya Motwane. Do people truly have control over all the digital extensions of their lives, or are these digital extensions governing them? CTRL aims to investigate that answer. They needed a cast that embodied this kind of lifestyle, and a medium as cutting-edge as Netflix was essential to bring this notion to life.

Furthermore, producer Nikhil Dwivedi stated that CTRL brings a thought-provoking narrative to the forefront in a unique format that will be evident in every frame of this film. All of the crew members, from the onscreen actors to the crew working behind the scenes, were enthusiastic and fully immersed in creating this world. He is excited about working with Netflix and sharing the film's important messages with a large audience.

As Ruchikaa Kapoor Sheikh, director of original films for Netflix India, puts it, CTRL is a testament to their promise of telling genre-bending stories that thrill and entertain. Vikramaditya Motwane expertly wrote this shocking and captivating modern thriller. The honesty with which Ananya Panday plays the role heightens the tension. The audience's login to this exciting journey is something they are eagerly anticipating.
